Several packages have dropped cronjobs in favour of systemd timers
or somesuch, despite these not being covered by the GR about init
scripts.

The release notes should contain a complete list of all packages
that did that, so that affected sysadmins (even systemd users who
prefer to keep using crond) can add back the proper cronjobs (there
was a mention of a tool to autogenerate them from the systemd units
on the init-diversity mailing list, which (anyway) I Cc’d in this
bug, so they can chime in).
